Getting the right amount of coverage can be confusing and tricky. You need to know what to protect, how long to protect it, and then how your life might change in the future. Wyshbox understands these dilemmas and has simplified the process. We offer personalized tools so you can feel confident knowing you have the right coverage on day one and every day following.
With life insurance it’s easy to end up with either too much coverage or not enough. So, before you start shopping around, follow these tips to help you understand exactly what you need in a plan.
Start by jotting down your top priorities. We find most people include things like:
Of course, your needs are going to be different from others, so make this list as unique as you are!
A good rule of thumb is to be covered until you retire or until your dependents leave home.
Most term life insurance companies offer policies in 10, 20, or 30 year increments. But, because each person’s ideal term length is different, Wyshbox uses one year increments. So coverage can be available for 2, 3, or 29 years.
Decide who will get the death benefit, should it come to that. This can be one person or multiple people. Just make sure they will be able to use the money to cover the things you added to your list in tip #1.
Bonus tip: It’s also smart to think about back-ups, or contingent beneficiaries, in case your first picks are not around later.
Our calculator, the Wysh Builder, makes it so easy to identify not only the needs you know of, but maybe a few you haven’t thought of yet. And at every step it helps you assign dollar amounts to each need, or Wysh, so you can know what coverage your policy will need, saving you time and money.
